  • Time-stamped start-to-finish video showing how I took a tired old shirt and top and combined them with scraps and slow-stitched details, to create a unique and colourful tunic which is much more "me" :)
    It's a long one, but you can click on the time-stamps below or on the timeline under the video, to skip through to the parts you want to watch.
    Most of the materials used were from my wardrobe and my craft stash, but the decorative pieces came from Bazaar scrap bundles. Here's a link to Bazaar so you can check them out -

    Your new Annie Label Designer top looks amazing what a super job you’ve done. Thank goodness for the mishaps in the beginning it led you to achieve something wonderful and unique to you. I’d love to see you in something more fitted maybe in the future, to will show of those womanly curves. So glad you’re back using your sewing again machine too. x 💐

      Thank you so much Jen - yes, I love how the happy accidents lead to creative solutions that add something I'd never have thought of otherwise, it's all part of the fun of this kind of project for me. I'm very happy that you like the top, thank you - I'll definitely be doing more and maybe even some less voluminous, more fitted pieces in the future .... when I have just a few less curves to fit :) xo

      @@artyfartyannie I watched your video, then watched Corrine who was talking about be brave, wear the clothing/jewelry etc that YOU want to wear, and stop feeling like you have to fit in. It opened something in me that’s been stifled a long time. So thank you for doing this video and I do hope you’ll do more even if the majority doesn’t want to see it. I hope to create some fun clothing for myself and stop wearing plain t shirts and jeans all the time. Hugs 🤗 xo

I'm very happy that you like it - the transformation challenge is always my favourite part of the GBSB, mind you, they only get 90 mins don't they, and I took about three days!! I'm slways so impressed with what they do in the time and sometimes I wish they'd give them longer and just edit it down, so we could see what they are really capable of, given a more realistic time frame. Anyway thank you for watching, more of these on the way, in fact another one went up yesterday so I hope you'll enjoy that too :)

Now I need to dig out that denim jacket that has been saved for some slow stitchery. Oh and the patchwork top you are secretly working on that you showed at the beginning is gorgeous too.

Other upcyclers have said your next step comes to you as you work through it. I can see they were right. It's good to know I don't have to have the whole design worked out before I start. As this belief was preventing me from starting. Thank you.

      Definitely - I had put it off for a while, thinking I needed a proper plan, but then decided to just jump in, and I think that's the best way. Make that first cut, then just trust your instincts - I reckon if you don't try anything too complex or fitted, you can't go too far wrong.

      Ah thank you so much, I'm really glad you feel inspired. The next flip video I made showed how I added a few extra inches to a top I couldn't get into any more, so you might like that one as well. It's definitely easier to start with a top or shirt that's a couple of sizes too big for you but you can go the other way around as well - just jump in and go for it, you have nothing to lose if the clothes are no good to you anyway, that's how I think of it, and you could end up with something unique which you really love :)

    This video was so helpful please do more. I have wanted to try something similar for so long but never had the confidence. The way you just went for it and problem solved as you went was really inspiring and has given me the confidence to have a go. Thank you ❤

      Thank you so much Julie - yes definitely the secret is just to go for it, jump in and don't worry too much about the outcome, if you're only using unwanted clothes and scraps it will cost nothing but time and I reckon even if I only learn something along the way it's time well spent :) I was just reading the intro on your YT channel and wanted to say that you would be most welcome to join our Discord community if you haven't already - it's a great way to connect with fellow makers, we talk about all sorts in there and several of our members have FM and other conditions that can limit the traditional social outlets, so it's a great source of support as well as inspiration.

      Thanks Peggy - oh yes, once you start doing this, you'll be looking at all your clothes (and other people's!) in a whole new way! I really should try some "bottoms" soon, a skirty maybe, or some loose trousers, bit more challenging somehow :)

    Hi Annie, I just love what you have created it fits and suits you well the top stitching really stands out I so enjoyed watching the progress and hope that you do many more videos. Although i get a lot of satisfaction donating to charity you have certainly inspired me to have a second look at some items that I can remake into wearable clothing. Thank you sharing. ❤❤

      Hi Jan, thank you so much, I'm glad you like it and enjoyed the video - I was quite concerned that my set-up isn't really suitable for filming this type of project, so I really appreciate that. Please do have a go at reworking some of your unwanted pieces, it's SO satisfying - just jump in and try it, you have nothing but time to lose if it's something you won't wear again anyway. Let me know how you get on :)

      Thanks very much Jacquie - yes, I love the make-it-up-as-you-go-along approach and really enjoy the creative problem-solving part of it - the way the little unexpected problems turn into fun ideas along the way, as well as the fact that we're avoiding adding to the textile waste mountain and ending up with something unique, makes the whole thing very rewarding doesn't it. Also very economical - that top literally cost me nothing, it was all stuff I had already. Win-win :) xo

      OOh that's exciting - do you still have the dress? You might be able to take it apart to create a pattern to make a new one maybe? I am really enjoying ceating these "frankenstein" garments, more on the way very soon, once I decide which I want to try first! :)

      Thank you very much Paula - just go for it and start chopping, it's impossible to think it allthrough until you get in there and half the fun for me is the problem-solving as you go along. Just remember it's only unwanted clothes and scraps - and a bit of time, but you'll learn loads as you go along and hopefully end up with something uniquely yours. Please share some pics when you do your transformation, I'd love to see :)
